Understanding the meaning of Thaipusam (from Wikipedia.org)
Thaipusam (Tamil: தைப்பூசம்) is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (Jan/Feb). It is also referred to as Thaipooyam orThaippooyam in the Malayalam language. The word Thai-pusam is derived from the month nameThai and Pusam, which refers to a star that is at its highest point during the festival.
